Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Establishment of Central Market Butter Prices in Chicago and New York Butter has often been called the balance wheel of the dairy industry. Milk supplies are diverted into butter when no other market outlets are available. Butter generally represents the lowest use value for milk, and the price of butter reflects a floor price below which milk prices rarely go. General supply and demand conditions for all milk products influence the price of butter. The price of butter, being reflected throughout the dairy economy, is of interest to many persons other than those who make or distribute butter. Persons in the dairy industry, particularly producers and creamery operators, have at times complained of certain aspects of the manner in which butter prices are established and of certain characteristics of butter prices. Most of the complaints may be grouped into three categories: (1) The level of prices; (2) the instability of prices; and (3) the thinness of the basis for establishing values.
